Trustees are voted in at a committee meeting and agree to serve and adopt all Shift policies. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The charity objects are to focus on the relief of mental and emotional distress and addiction for every member of the public (P01-PO6) that identifies with this through: a. The use of advocacy and peer support including signposting to other organisations and services. b. Providing support and activities which develop skills, capacities and capabilities for each individual to participate in society. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and Public Benefit’ 2 ## **SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT** Shift Portsmouth has created two new groups this year and continued our staple of the Shift Forum, Advocacy clinic and Art Group. We started a HIVE (Portsmouth charity that assists VCSE organisations throughout the city) funded group on a Monday, offering free, practitioner led tai chi and a reflection on a secular daily meditations book. The award for this group is coming to an end and we are replacing the tai chi with practitioner led guided meditations, with the same second hour. We’ve also started an education group, aimed at furthering our peers’ knowledge with regard tp psychological theory. The basis of this group is that we empower our members by helping them to understand why they.ve done the things they’ve done and promote a culture of change. ## **SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE PERIOD** We’ve more than doubled in size. When we became a charity in November 2023 we were running small forums with perhaps 4 or 5 peers. The pandemic affected us noticeably (we were far larger before it) but, through presentations and a thorough poster campaign, have turned things around. We are now regularly getting 12-15 peers on a Thursday, which, given the format, is a perfect number, allowing everyone ample time to speak. We’ve completed over 10 presentations to different groups, including to the social prescribers at GPs surgeries, to the Family Safeguarding Team, and the Mental Health Hub to name three. We’ve got close ties with a graphic designer who has developed materials for us and is in the process of creating a website. (This should be running by the end of November.) We.ve secured funding from the national lottery, the aforementioned HIVE, PCC, and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, and are well on our way to securing next year’s finances. ## **THE CHARITY’S POLICY ON RESERVES** The charity’s reserves are it’s cash at bank, which have remained in excess of £8000 since February 2023.
